Ingredients
- 1 can marinated artichokes (drained and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 English muffins (cut into halves)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures that your toasts will bake evenly and achieve a delicious golden brown crust.
-
Prepare the artichokes by chopping them into small pieces. This will allow them to mix well with the other ingredients and ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
-
Combine the chopped artichokes with the crab meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped onion, and grated Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed and evenly coated with the creamy mayonnaise.
-
Split each English muffin in half. If you prefer, you can use baguettes, French bread, or another type of bread as a base. Spread a generous amount of the artichoke and crab mixture on the cut side of each muffin half.
-
Cut each muffin half into quarters to create bite-sized pieces. Arrange the muffin triangles on a baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart to allow for even toasting.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the toasts are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The toasts will develop a crispy texture and rich flavor as they bake.
-
Serve hot straight from the oven for the best taste and texture. If desired, these toasts are also delicious at room temperature, making them a versatile option for any occasion.
Enjoy these Artichoke and Crab Toasts as a delectable appetizer or a savory snack. Whether you’re hosting a party or just craving a tasty treat, this recipe delivers in both flavor and ease! 🥂✨
